目前在薩克斯其萬省,有許多保有傳統文化,並且學習祖先和長老的智慧的第一民族人民。我們的祖先為了締結皇室和第一民族的相互關係,而和皇室簽訂條約。簽訂條約的過程中,祖先也保有智慧和遠見,以保護後代的子孫。
根據薩克斯其萬印地安民族聯盟(The Federation of Saskatchewan Indian Nations,FSIN)表示,薩克其萬省目前有74族第一民族。藉由履行條約的過程中,聯盟豐富並且保護了第一民族的精神和目標,更甚一個世紀以前。
Many of the culture and traditions of First Nations people in Saskatchewan flow from the teachings and practices of our forefathers and Elders of today. Our forefathers, who entered into Treaties with the Crown, did so with the intention of establishing mutually beneficial arrangements between the Crown and First Nations. The Chiefs and Headsmen who negotiated the Treaties also had the wisdom and forethought to provide for our generation and those yet to come. The Federation of Saskatchewan Indian Nations represents 74 First Nations in Saskatchewan. The Federation is committed to honouring the Spirit and Intent of the Treaties as well as the promotion, protection and implementation of Treaties that were made with the First Nations more than a century ago. |
